A strong anchor in the Senegalese economy<\/h2>\n

In 2024, Eramet Grande C\u00f4te invested over 70.5 billion CFA francs<\/strong> (\u20ac107 million) in purchasing goods and services from Senegalese suppliers, thereby strengthening its direct impact on the local economy. Today, 67% of its purchases are made in Senegal through a network of more than 800 national companies, 75% of which are based in Dakar and 130 in the Thi\u00e8s region, near the site.<\/p>\n

This partnership is based on a relationship of trust, founded on Eramet’s Responsible Purchasing policy and Ethics Charter.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Eramet Grande C\u00f4te actively supports local employment: 22 billion CFA francs<\/strong> were allocated to payroll for 2,526 direct jobs<\/strong>, 98% of which are held by Senegalese nationals.<\/p>\n

The company also paid 28 billion CFA francs (\u20ac42 million) in taxes and duties, positioning itself as the 5th<\/sup> largest mining contributor to the state budget<\/strong>, according to the EITI.<\/p>\n

Finally, in terms of training, Eramet Grande C\u00f4te has established strong ties with various higher education institutions (ESP Dakar and Thi\u00e8s, \u00c9cole Sup\u00e9rieure Nationale des Mines et de la G\u00e9ologie, etc.) and training organizations (ONFP, 3FPT, etc.).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Development projects in favor of local communities<\/h2>\n

\"\"Eramet Grande Cote, in partnership with the Senegalese state, is implementing a social mining program to invest in the development of local communities, in addition to compensation and the restoration of livelihoods.<\/p>\n

Through this strengthened commitment to social responsibility, more than 20,000 people<\/strong> have benefited from initiatives in the fields of health, agriculture, entrepreneurship, and territorial development<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A tripartite commission, including mayors, local populations, civil society, and representatives of Eramet Grande Cote, decides on the actions to be taken. A rotating system allows investments to be concentrated by municipality each year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
